Lyrics
Footsteps down the stairs and at the door,
Pausing in the hall and at the door,
‘Cos I know Daddy’s here,
I can tell that he’s there.

And that means she’ll be glad
Until we’re in bed and she’s alone,
For there are things they have to say,
And we are sent away.

Mama, the room is cold and he is scared.
I am too and you’re not there.
How could we know you’d only took a walk
To a neighbor for a quiet talk.

Sunshine’s dying flicker on grey stone walls,
Outside in the hall, the old dog growls,
And we’re in bed playing guessing games,
Telling stories, making plans.

Radio, celery and Sunday tea,
It is nicer here just us three,
And I know he won’t come again,
There is no need to explain.
